Abstract
A small revolution in our ability to perform mass measurements of light-mass, neutronrich nuclei has occurred during the last five years with the extension of the direct, total mass measurement method to fast recoiling nuclei. To date the work of two groups, one using the SPEG spectrometer at GANIL and the other using the TOFI spectrometer at LAMPF, has yielded over 85 mass measurements of which 62 had not been reported previously. Extending from the neutron-halo nucleus 11Li up to 66Fe, a region relevant to the astrophysical r-process, these measurements have provided a valuable first glimpse into the interesting nuclear structure present in many of these exotic nuclei.
